“There’s a lot to this, it’s
just like running a business,
and, I mean if you haven't got
agrasp of the issues, it makes
it more difficult,” said Craig.

Business, as they say in the
circles Craig runs in, is
bullish.

“This year I think we're go-
ing to have one of the
strongest year’s seen in some
time around here.

“We've got a really good

trouble gathering some coach-
es. We need a Peewee house
coach still and also we need
someone to help out with the
Bantam house team. That’s
the two big problems were
looking at right now.”

It’s been a fast climb to the
top for Craig since he first be-
came involved with minor
hockey four years ago— at the
same time his son Jeff played
his first game.

But besides his rather im-
promptu rise to the helm this
year, Craig said his involve-

As for the future, Craig is
optimistic and has rising reg-

confidence. :

Santa sure treated the
McArthurs well at the Christ-
mas in September golf tourna-
ment at the Castlegar Gol:
Course last weekend.

Course professional Denny
McArthur was a two-time win-
ner at the event while his wife
Diony won in the first round
and came third in the second.
“It was one of the bes
Chri in Septemb
we've ever had,” said
McArthur, referring to more
than just his own fortunes.

McArthur said an all-time
high 130 players, from as far
away as California and a large
contingent from the Okana-
gan, entered the 16th annual
event.

The McArthurs teamed-up
for the low gross score of 74
Saturday to take first prize in
that event.

Then on Sunday, Denny got
together with Laurel Webster,

win the second day's top prize.

Webster stole the show
playing with the pro by sink-
ing a hole-in-one on the thi
hole.

Kay Hominivk and Don
Bouvette of Castlegar won the
low net event in the fitst round
by carding a 67 while locals
Sharon and Ray Bystrom shot
a 71 to place third.

Margaret i
Herb Wilms of Vernon, Mike
Rowe of Rossland and Castle-
gar’s Genevieve Jackson and
Bob Dickson shot a:70 to place
second in the team évent Sun-
day.

Diony McArthur was back
in the prizes teaming up with
Gloria Wilms of Vernon, Greg
Presley of Spokane, Jack
Becker of Oliver and Mary
Martin of Castlegar to post a
70 and placing third.

A Castlegar team found out
this week that all is not lost

The Williams Moving and
Storage team, half of whose
members come from one fam-
ily, learned Monday that it had
won the most sportsmanlike
team trophy in the 92-team
tournament.

“We lost out in the C (divi-
sion) but this we felt was even
more important,” said
Jeanette Pakula, who is one of
of six Pakulas, and one former
Pakula, on the team.

“We're one big family and
that’s what it’s all about. You
have to go out and have fun,
win or lose,” she said.

The team also won the
sportsmanlike award in the
Castlegar slo-pitch year-end
tourney this year.

The other Pakulas on the
team include Linus, Bruce,
Mike, Bob and Lori, while
Shelly Stoushnow is also a
member of that family.

well cared for in any place, other than in my
own home.

On the other hand Bunny, who has had con-
siderably more experience, says that Castlegar
is equally good. Anyway, who is going to argue
with excellence.

Last, but by no means least, there is the vir-
tual cornucopia of cards and flowers, phone
calls and visits from a sea of associates, the
Castlegar Rotary Club, Castlegar Writer’s
